How many of you have or had a scion XB. Ive got a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4 V8 4.7 with 3" exhaust. Its sucking my gas. And with gas prices climbing Im thinking about gettin a more fuel effent (sp) car. Thinking about trading it in on a scion XB. I might get a black one or a white one.

I just think it's a box-mobile.
I, too, like the tC a lot.

I liked the Tc when it came out, but now theyre common and even more moms drive them than neons. seeing a good modded one is rare, and theyre not all that quick. ive heard many a story of neon guys walkin Tcs. I just like the Xb cuz it was in TXRZ way back in the day when it was Jspec only, so I kinda have a soft spot for them.

0-60 in 11seconds!!! WOOOOO
I hate the Scion boX.
And those damn commercials.. their more irritating than the Caliber ones.
Well the boX might actually be a good race for a Caliber R/T. lol

I use to have 3 neons, i had a silver 99 (sold it) had a red 96 (traded it for a 00 neon), had a 00 neon( traded it in for a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee.) With gas prices goin up i cant really afford to keep putting gas in the jeep every 5 days. 88 octane, kinda pricy. PLus ive got a 3" exhaust system. The XB gets great gas milage. I like them cause they are different and you dont see very many of them were I live.

Thats a shame, because it's probably true. : o

The calibers are not that bad now....
I looked at an xb when they first came out. Cool car, I personally like the different, boxy look of it. I could not drive one though, because Id mod the crap out of it before I even had it a month. Thats why Im lucky there is not much out for the caliber yet. Gives me time to focus on finishing the neon.

I dont like the xb really, just weird.
The tc is a different story though. There's even a supercharger available for it. Probably better built than neons haha.

The only thing the XB has going on is the interior room, EXTREMELY spacious and comfy.

I never really liked the xB, but it grew on me and I actually like the look of them now. However, I hate the interior. It is very spacious and comfy, I just hate the way the dash is designed and the fact that it doesn't have a center console.
The tC on the other hand, I've always really liked those. Back when I was rear-ended I was looking at tC's for if they would of totalled out the neon.
